ABSTRACT P.I. John Fleagle SBR-9319193 The origins of monkeys and apes in Africa are not well understood. The best finds for the earliest "higher primates" come from Egypt (the Fayum Depression) during the Oligocene, but they are very primitive indeed, and may well not lead to the clearly "African" monkey and ape fossils that appear about 10 million years later, from the Miocene deposits across East Africa. This Exploratory Grant in Anthropological Research will examine very promising sediments in northern Kenya, on the northern edge of East Africa, from the Oligocene and Miocene period. It is very likely they will find primate and mammalian fossils connecting the times and geographic areas already known, and may well dramatically change our understanding of those ancestral forms leading to the flourescence of monkeys and apes in Africa. *** P\anthro\jfried\9319193.abs n August 8, after huge amounts of fatherly work and not inconsiderable fatherly expenditures!

摘要P.I. John Fleagle SBR-9319193非洲猴子和猿猴的起源尚不清楚。 最早的“高级灵长类动物”的最佳发现来自渐新世期间埃及（fayum抑郁症），但确实非常原始，并且很可能不会导致显然是“非洲”猴子和猿化石，这些猴子和猿化石显然出现了大约1000万年后来，来自东非的中新世矿床。 这项人类学研究的探索性赠款将检查肯尼亚北部，东非北部边缘的非常有希望的沉积物，渐新世和中新世时期。 他们很有可能会发现灵长类动物和哺乳动物化石可以连接到已经知道的时代和地理区域，并且很可能会极大地改变我们对那些祖先形式的理解，从而导致非洲猴子和猿猴的粉状。 *** p \ anthro \ jfried \ 9319193。 所有相关人员的恢复都很好。 其次，我们很幸运地招募了Merry Bullock成为我的休假替代者。不幸的是，dem。 呢 呢 呢 D（时代新罗马符号和Arial“ H D = Jonathan Friedlaender Jonathan Friedlaender
